• iCloud Installation hangs on deleting of backup files

  If I go crazy.  Tried to install a new version of iCloud in many different ways and it keeps hanging on 'delete backup files '.  I searched on the Internet and each suggestion appears to be for a few years, not always on Windows 10. But my problem is happening in 2016 and is still ongoing.

  I am running windows 10.  I completely uninstalled all the programs Apple. I'll try to reinstall iCloud and every time it stops on deleting of backup files. I did it in airplane mode and when you are connected to the Internet.

  Any help / thoughts?

  Hi ManowarNYC,

  Thanks for your question.  I'm not sure what you mean by

  Tried to install a new version of iCloud in different ways

  So, I'll start by suggesting the implementation of the instructions below:

  Set up and use iCloud for Windows

  Confirm that you have uninstalled the previous version to iCloud for Windows, and you install the 64 bit to iCloud for Windows version for your operating system Windows 10.

  Take care.

  Can I delete the backups Time Machine of old MacAir and make room on my time Machine 2 TB for Macbook?

  Yes you can.  Your next question may be 'how' to do it.

  Use the Finder to open the disc Time Capsule, named "Data", except if you have renamed the reader

  Here, you will see two files sparsebundle, each bearing the name of Mac, who has been the object of a backup

  Click on the name of the sparsebundle file on behalf of the Mac to highlight the file

  Click the gear just above the window, and then click place in the trash

  He is not coming back, so make sure that you delete the correct file.

  Once the deletion over... it should only take a few minutes... Turn off and restart the time Capsule and you should be all set.

  You deleted a Windows file system file, or a folder of bookmarks in Firefox?

  If you delete a folder in the Windows file system, normally it goes in the trash. See: ws.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/recover-files-recycle-bin#1TC=windows-7

  Edit: This link got cut off, here it is again: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/recover-files-recycle-bin#1TC=windows-7

  If you have deleted a folder of bookmarks in Firefox, and if you have not closed out of Firefox, you can undo the change in the Library dialog box. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + b
  • Menu button bookmarks > show all bookmarks

  In the menu/toolbar of the dialog bar library search organize (the first menu) and use Undo. You may need to use several times if you have made other changes after that.

  Any progress?

• I want to delete temporary internet files. Note that I did not clear the cache. It does not work! How can I delete temporary files? Why did you take this feature? VERY frustrating that you would do that!

  I'm looking for how to remove the temp int files and continue to flow upward with the nonsense of "empty the cache". This isn't what I searched. Clear the cache does NOT remove temporary files. Why do you want to take this feature here?

  Firefox uses or not delete temporary internet files which use IE and a few plugins. Firefox uses the Cache if you are using Firefox on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux or some other OS.

• I deleted all THE files of rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB drive. Total area of libraries: 650 GB still Get Info says I use 2 100 GB! Any ideas? Thank you.

  I have deleted all THE files in my libraries FCPX rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB external drive. The total size of my libraries is 650 GB (when I add up the individual), but when I click on read the information for the reader, it says that I use 2 100 GB! It does not show that everything is on the disk. I went in each library individually in FCPX and deleted all THE files of rendering.  Reducing the total size of several concerts, but there are still almost 1 500 GB difference.

  I tried to copy all libraries on another drive and they occupy only 650 GB (with no unidentifiable used disk space). I'm a bit confused.  Someone at - it ideas?  I would like to release 1.5 TB that starting to use the new hard disk with only 650 GB and reformat the drive, but if there is some kind of hidden, important files on the original drive as FCPX needs to work properly I won't ruin the hundreds of hours I spent on editing. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you in advance.

• Error 13008 - deleting the .itdb files does not help. :(

  I tried to move my directory iTunes of my homedir on the SD card where I keep all my assets and, despite having (as far as I can remember anyway) set up iTunes to stop the analysis of the file homedir first, now, whenever he's trying to start I get the fearsome "unknown error 13008. All threads I've seen on how to solve this say to save and delete the .itdb files in your iTunes folder and then restart iTunes. However, when I do this, iTune recreates (on the SD card, so at least I know that he uses the right place, and that it can write to the card), then crashes with the error 13008. Same thing if I rename the folder iTunes together.

  Any suggestions? I'm on Yosemite. I'd say what version of iTunes, I'm running, but...

  I make little feeling that this has not been done in the best way initially.

  Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/ALT key to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

• Cannot delete the plist file system.

  My Time Machine is not automatically back up my drive. He worked for some time (don't know why) and then stops working automatically. I tried to implement the procedure laid down by Linc Davis, delete the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, but make the message: 'com.apple.TimeMachine.plist' cannot be changed or deleted because it is required by OS X.  I tried to change the permissions in the file information window to include Administrator Read and Write (only has this permission system. Which translates the message: "the operation cannot be performed because you don't have the necessary authorization."

  Using the terminal window and sudo rm command produces the same message.

  I do a backup manually through the system preferences window, but it shows immediately that a backup disk has not been selected. Next time, I select the backup disk, perform a manual backup. Repeat the next time, I have run a manual backup.

  10.11.1 on new iMac, retina 5 K with 16 GB of memory running. Has made a migration to this previous computer Mac Pro 10.7.5.

  Also the Time Machine backup drive icon backup weather icon to see the Machine. Relaunch the Finder does not fix issue.

  Question: How can I delete the plist file?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

  Please, back up all data before proceeding.

  First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

  Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

  If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

  Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

  Restart the computer and test.

• TDMS-2503 error recovery - delete the index file does not

  My team worked an acquisition of data on some test machines, and I went today to begin the analysis of the data.  It turns out that two of the TDMS files that we generated cannot be opened in Diadem, Excel or use the controls file TDMS Opend in LabVIEW.  I also tried the repair of PDM tool, with the same result.  The test machine has since been demolished, so there is no way to re - run tests.  Is it possible to have the files was looking to see if all the data can be recovered?

  The files were generated with LabVIEW 2013 SP1.  Attemtped to open them in the same version of LabVIEW, and Diadem 2015, and the importer of excel (excel 2010).

  TDMS files are rather large (> 1 GB), but the tdms_index files that were generated with them were 0kB.  Delete the tdms_index files and re - open the TDMS files had no effect.

  A first look into files (using the primitives to open the binary in LabVIEW), the initial section of the appearance of correct files (readable metadata that matches from a work file in a non-working file).

  He seems to have no notable connection between the two files that will not open, nor the differences in the situation of these files for work files.

  Any help would be greaty appreciated.

  TDMS files are written in chuncks.  At the beginning of each chunck belongs to the human readable semi which is data such as channel names and groups, but contains no actual data.  Then follows the binary data.  The index is intended for all semi human readable file and any data.  This should make the reading of the file easier because the file offset and such are in the index file smaller.

  This being said if you have some sections corrupted in your DDHN file you can always get the data out of it.  There is a code floating around that pull each of the segments and find out what is the problem, then all allows you to get all the data before the wrong section.  This thread talking about it, and a short code displayed around page 3.

  Hello Alonda,

  Thanks for the response on the answers.microsoft.com forum.

  It seems that you are really wanting to get free space on your hard drive.  Certainly understand this importance.  Did you run a disk cleanup?  Do this by => click Start ORB-> computer-> right click on your drive Local (usu. C :) and select properties-> under a general tab, click Disk Cleanup

  Disk Cleanup will usually present your files can be deleted without reprecussions.  Also, most of the files that you can delete Windows putting updates in question the question about WINSXS, get lodged in this folder.  Here is an article of Nice forum describing the WINSXS file a little more away.
